Missed Connections Live on Spidvid

One of our passions is being able to help fund the dreams of video creators and filmmakers, as they produce what could be the next big video or film entertainment hit online. One of the video creators we helped to fund on KickStarter was Melissa Center who is the creator of the web series “Missed Connections Live”. MCL is based on the missed connections section of Craigslist where people shoot messages in there with hopes that whoever they came across in the physical world would then re-connect with them online.

Part of our funding deal with Melissa (for season 2) was that she run all of her past production projects through Spidvid, and we would help promote and market her content to the web’s viewing audience.

On Monday her first Spidvid project was completed, and episode 1 (NYC Cafe Hostess hopes to find mystery Economist Man) of Missed Connections Live was later uploaded for distribution as embedded below.If you like episode 1 then you will love Melissa’s future episodes even more, so be sure to subscribe for weekly releases, and other quality entertainment from Spidvid’s collaborative production community too.

Donate to Missed Connections Live

June 18th, 2010

Many video creators and filmmakers struggle with raising funds to fully produce their video, film, or show. KickStarter is a brilliant one year old platform (it’s still a baby) that allows individuals to raise money for their projects, and offer gifts and rewards to the funders for their contributions.

Melissa Center is a Spidvid member who is seeking to raise $8,000 to create new episodes to compliment the 10 she has already produced on a $0 budget. She also wants to further brand, market, and promote her Missed Connections Live web series. $4,660 has been raised to date with another $3,340 to go with just 64 hours left to raise that amount. You can give as low as $10 to help make the show bigger and better. She has done very well with no money at all, so just imagine what she could do with a few thousand dollars, the possibilities are endless.

I think the show idea is brilliant because I’ve also wondered if the “Missed Connections” section was worthwhile on Craigslist. Each episode examines a unique situation, in some cases for romance, and in some cases for road rage as shown below.

Supporting good people is a core value of Spidvid, so it feels really good to have donated to Melissa’s project so she can make Missed Connections Live episodes well into the future. If you have a couple minutes, and a little money to help make dreams come true, then please donate to this KickStarter project now. Good luck Melissa, Spidvid salutes you.
